Of course, Bearded Gospel Men is about more than just beards. It's about manliness and godliness, both of which seem to be in short supply these days.

Each of the 31 stories in this book includes a verse of the day, a quote to contemplate, and a prayer--all geared to inspire men toward embracing their follicular faithfulness and joining a large conversation about living faithfully in a world that desperately needs the gospel. So dive in and enjoy the woolly wisdom of these bearded gospel men!  Paperback.
